Some stuff I built.

[earthquake68]

I was just going to show you some of the stuff that's been through my shop. I've owned all of these and more, but these are the only pictures to survive two divorces. (wonder if one thing has to do with the other?)

I bought this car for $400. I had $1,200 into it at the time of this picture.

I chopped this from stock to this in three weeks. I totaled the bike, in my shop, with the engine off. It fell off my bike lift. I was MAD!

Here's some other stuff......

Just in case you live in a crowded area and parking is hard to find.

After the accident. The ex rolled it 2 1/2 times on the way to work.

.......three days (72 hours of solid work) later.

There's about $1,000 in this one.

 

[earthquake68]

....and even more stuff.

There's about $650 in this one. I bought it for $250.

I did the body and paint work on this one in about 13 hours.

This is my first dually. 9.5:1 468 big block, Th400, 3.73 gears. It ran like it looked. 23 hours for body and paint work.

My '63 Iron head Sporty. I'm STILL trying to find a clutch gear for it.

 

[earthquake68]

....and even MORE stuff.

A 454 in a '79 Camaro with all kinds of stuff done, sitting on a trailer I built from scratch.

Ever hear the song, "One piece at a time." by Johnny Cash? That's this car. It has pieces from about 7 or 8 other year Corvettes on it. Trying to fix something is always fun, but it's a fun car to drive. Everything works.

That's about it. There's a few more cars that don't have photographic evidence anymore, but this was some of the cooler stuff. 'Hope you enjoyed it.

Yes, I'm afraid it's true. Oddly enough, you're not the first person to tell me that.

thx yea it was a ground pounder.looked cool but pain in the back to sit on very long

 

[hotrod preacher]

def. had some cool stuff--looks diverse, too--from a monstrous 4x4 to hotrods to bikes you've done it all--even a trailer build.....
just one question....whatcha got against smallblocks?[S

 

[whytesmoke]

wow looks like you have your hands full .[cl.....very nice.

 

[earthquake68]

just one question....whatcha got against smallblocks?[S

Small blocks are , ....well, .......small.

Besides, everyone has one.

Sufficient to me is a 454 with at least .520 lift cam, performance intake, headers and a Holley. Then you put that through a Th400 with a B&M trans pak and 2500 stahl. Finish it up with 3.73 gears for the street, and you have a nice mellow toy to cruise around on Saturday night.

Exceptional is what I'm building for the Chevelle. A blown, alcohol injected 496. A Lenco four speed and fab nine inch. The goal is 1,000 HP to the ground. (with a dyno sheet to prove it) This car will also be street driven, just less than the others.

Love the cutlass....

Love the cutlass....

Thanks. It turned out pretty decent. I took it on the 1999 Hotrod Power Tour and melted the trans on the way to the fourth stop.

I didn't like it much when I was rebuilding the trans curbside.
